An intriguing book, quite unlike any other, The Marrow of Modern Divinity defies pigeonholing. Written in the 1600s by a Puritan author of whom we know little, yet it proved to be a critically important and controversial theological text.

Penned as dialogue between a minister (Evangelista), a young Christian (Neophytus), a legalist (Nomista) who believes Christianity is a set of rules to be obeyed, and Antinomista, who has decided sin is perfectly acceptable because God forgives anyway. Makes for a wonderfully insightful book, highly relevant in its approach to theology still today. Elaborates at length on the Law of God, the gospel, the Covenant of Works, the Covenant of Grace, the Ten Commandments, the Law of Christ, and the True Rest for Heart and Soul.
